An enforceable instrument such as a promissory note goes straight to the Enforcement Court.<\/p>\n<h3>A client has not paid and I only have invoices. What can I do?<\/h3>\n<p>We usually start with a written demand, then a commercial claim if they do not pay. Signed invoices, correspondence and the contract all strengthen the claim.<\/p>\n<h3>Do you work with foreign companies?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes. We provide advice, contracts and company formation for foreign investors, file pleadings in Arabic as the courts require, and explain every step in English.<\/p>\n<h3>Can we go to arbitration without an arbitration clause?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes, if both parties agree in writing after the dispute arises to refer it to arbitration.<\/p>\n<h3>How much does a commercial lawyer cost?<\/h3>\n<p>It depends on the value, type and stage of the dispute; we state it in writing after the first consultation.
